S-DMS provides the rider with a choice of three different engine power output modes. Working in concert with the Traction Control System*, S-DMS permits peak power in each mode while changing the nature of the power delivery. These three modes (A, B, and C) provide the rider a quick and effortless way to alter the GSX-8TT’s power delivery characteristics.
The four-mode STCS on the GSX-8TT lets the rider control the throttle with more confidence by limiting rear wheel spin in a variety of riding conditions. The rider can select one of four modes (1, 2, 3, and OFF). The three active modes differ in terms of rear wheel spin sensitivity.
Ride-by-Wire Electronic Throttle System uses the capability of the GSX-8TT’s 32-bit, dual-processor ECM, and CAN-bus wire harness to convert throttle grip movement and sensor input into instantaneous and precise throttle plate movement in the two 42mm throttle bodies.
Bi-directional Quick Shift System (QS) allows the GSX-8TT rider to shift up or down quickly and easily, without operating the clutch or throttle. To ensure smoother upshifts, QS automatically interrupts power delivery just long enough to produce smooth, almost uninterrupted acceleration.
The Suzuki Easy Start System allows the rider to easily start the engine with a single, momentary press of the starter button. In any weather condition or with any engine temperature, there is no need to hold down the starter button until the engine fires. The ECM manages Easy Start so that the starter motor automatically stops once the engine has started.
The Low RPM Assist System seamlessly increases engine speed to smooth the power delivery when launching from a standing start or riding at low speeds, which helps ensure better control and operation in stop-and-go traffic. The system also minimizes the possibility of the rider stalling the motorcycle during take-off.
Traditionally inspired, the GSX-8TT’s round headlight assembly employs a pair of high- and low-beam LED light emitters to provide clear and bright illumination of the road ahead.
The GSX-8TT’s standard USB Type-C power socket is conveniently located on the left side of the instrument panel’s mount.
An innovation in lithium-ion motorcycle battery technology, the GSX-8TT debuts the HY battEliiy P-series battery which offers clear advantages over conventional lead-acid batteries. This high-capacity, lithium-ion battery, developed by ELIIY Power, provides reliability, durability, enhanced starting, and long life with minimal discharge.
The GSX-8TT instrument panel uses a full-color, 5-inch TFT screen that is brightness adjustable and can be set up for manual or automatic switching between Day Mode (white background) or Night Mode (black background).
The GSX-8TT’s lightweight and low-draw LED turn signals are mounted in thin, arrow-shaped housings mounted to the headlight cowl and to the side of the rear LED taillight.
The GSX-8TT’s next generation engine and modern chassis gets a new styling direction that is inspired by historical Suzuki standard motorcycles such as the GSX1000S AMA Superbike with a race-inspired face created by the headlight cowl (quarter fairing) and under cowl (chin spoiler).
The engine side covers have a black finish that complements the GSX-8TT’s overall appearance, creating an understated, refined look. The Suzuki name is highlighted in silver on these covers to help highlight the engine’s mechanical appeal and emphasize the GSX-8TT’s performance-focused character.
The 2026 GSX-8TT offers two body color choices Glass Sparkle Black (YVB) and Pearl Matte Shadow Green (QU5), both finishes cover the fuel tank and headlight cowl while the wheels match the tank and cowl’s accent stripes.
The GSX-8TT features the fresh GSX-8 family font motif with raised Suzuki logos on the fuel tank plus new 3-D model badges inspired by the look of a pocket-billiards 8-ball.
The wide, tapered aluminum handlebars are capped with bar-end mirrors, bringing style and function forward to this new model.
The short, compact polished stainless-steel muffler, exposed bronze-color subframe, and slim tail section help produce a compact appearance that further emphasizes the parallel-twin engine.
A variety of Genuine Suzuki Accessories will be available for the GSX-8TT, such as a solo seat cowl, tank side protectors, billet clutch and brake levers, clip-on tank bags and other luggage, plus a selection of Suzuki logo apparel.
12-month, unlimited mileage limited warranty. Longer coverage periods with other benefits are available through Suzuki Extended Protection (SEP).
